on my way to work today i got pulled over for "emitting noise" from my exhaust on market and julian. I have a stromung dual tip but it didn't matter, cop made me pop my hood and pointed at my bov and said it was "modified intake system." Is evergreen a good place to go? I don't really want to swap out my turboback but if it seems like its my only choice. On my ticket it says "modified muffler, guage (boost guage), and modified intake (bov). Any experiences from evergreen ref?

 

ive gotten pulled over in downtown and they sent me to state ref. i was on san salvador going towards market. i was rockin' an apexi gt spec (melon shooter) cop said he heard me coming hah

i went to evergreen and the tech seemed really cool, he was asking me about stuff on my car lol

avoid wyotech, i wasted my time there.

 

you can't have a boost gauge?

 

funny you mention that, when i went to wyotech, the techs said they couldnt run the test cuz i had gauges (defi tripod) and i told them that doesnt have to do with anything emission wise as well as the TT, but they insisted i remove it and reschedule.

btw, i heard a lotta good things about the alameda state ref

g'luck

 

Dude that sucks im always in downtown and in that Coleman Plaza.

Just make sure you dont get black dude at evergreen he came from Wyotech. He's a real you know what. Just make sure you got all your cats, stock BPV, and intake. You should be good to go. Good luck with thay. One of the reasons why I painted my exhaust black and sold my HKS laser shooter.

 

aww another state ref.. man after my state ref, and having to take all my stuff off teh car. I didnt wanna bother to put it back on.. So I passed state ref and sold my car =( ... But the state refs in alameda college is supper cool.

 

Boost guage ! Lol I would have shown them the SPT Catalog, it's stock dude!

 

its okay i got written up for having a turbo in my "japanese car" ... the cop didn't believe me at all when i told him its stock, he said all japanese car are commuter cars and should not have turbo in them unless they're racing cars which is illegal on the streets...

thats what i get for being lazy and no putting back my heatshield hah

 

evergreen college state ref is pretty cool ..... just make sure u have stock stuff on ur car and u will be good ..

 

Wow....I would be pissed. Stupid cops don't know so they hand out tickets...weird I know that's NOT what they're supposed to do...
Probably felt like an idiot because you were proving him wrong!

 

yeah i thought i was pretty safe with the stromung dual tip since it looks pretty stock. I haven't had trouble with cops at all in 2-3 years even when i'm cruising next to them. Today wasn't my day i guess, he pulled up behind me and as soon as it turned green i saw the lights. The messed up part was he told me "alright you're all set thank you for your cooperation" and as soon as i left i realized he forgot to give me back my license/registration.

 

not like turbo's are ever used for fuel efficiency...like say, on a turbo VW beetle

 

DAMN but u got ur registration/license afterwards or wat?

 

man that sux...hope u got ur sh*t back...the cop forgettin that is just makin the situation a whole lot worse

 

yeah i got it back. Called the station at work and they contacted him to drop it off to me.
